Remote Programming Information
The downloading system can perform many functions when in communication
with the control unit. Besides uploading and downloading, the status of the
system can be observed and various commands can be initiated, as follows:
· Arm the System in the Away Mode; Disarm the System.
· Bypass a Zone.
· Force the System to Accept a New Program Download.
· Shut Down Communication (dialer) Functions (non-payment of monitoring
fees in an owned system).
· Shut Down all Security System Functions (non-payment for a leased system).
· Inhibit Local Keypad Programming (prevents account takeover).
· Command the System to Upload a Copy of its Resident Program to the office.
· Read: Arming Status, AC Power Status, Lists of Faulted Zones, Bypassed
Zones, Zones Currently in Alarm, Zones Currently in Trouble.
Notes:
After the control and the PC have established valid communication, each keypad
on the system will become inactive and will display "CC" or "MODEM COMM.".
The control, however, will still be scanning its zones and looking for alarms. If an
alarm does occur, after communication is broken off alarms are sounded and the
proper dialer reports are sent to the central station. The keypads will become
active after the download communication is terminated. The detailed operation of
the download functions is covered in the installation instructions for the V-LINK®
Downloading Software Diskette.
Remote Programming Advisory Notes
· Alarm and trouble reporting may be delayed during the time that the system
and the Downloader are linked to each other following a valid exchange of
codes, but the proper message will get through to the Central Station after the
link is broken.
· Keypad entries are ignored during the time interval stated above.
· A copy of the program downloaded may be produced from the IBM PC
compatible computer, using the product's internal report generator, when an
optional printer is connected (consult your PC manual for proper printer and
connections).
· Program Upload or Download Time—Approximately one minute fifteen
seconds for a complete program.
